Tough night last night as my Wisconsin Lutheran College Warriors men's basketball team lost in the first round of the NAC Tournament to the Lakeland Muskies.
It brought to a close a great season, filled with excitement, heart ache and action. But most of all it brought to a close the great college careers of two great individuals.
Marcus Zondag and Nate Sorum will not go down in the annals of college basketball lore as two of the best players ever to hit the hardwood, but you will never meet two young men with more heart and desire to play the game.
Each and everytime they hit the court they would live it all out there, win or loss. They were the epitome of leaders on and off the court.
I've had the pleasure of watching both Marcus and Nate play since they were sophomores and it's been a blast watching them develop as players.
After last nights game I had a chance to interview both of them...and it was one of the tougher interviews I have done inn 15 years of radio. Both guys knew it was the end of the road, they were obviously upset, but they were gracious enough to spend 5 or minutes with me talking about the season, their careers and their future.
God bless Marcus Zondag and Nate Sorum for what they have done for WLC and the legacy they have left behind!
